The Counterattack of the Villains

"Your Majesty, you should think carefully before making a decision. I will take the young prince to visit Wudang. Don't worry, Your Majesty, Pindao will not do anything before you make a decision."

Wang Zhonglou pulled Xu Longxiang out of the small courtyard, leaving Hong Xixiang standing there alone without embarrassment.

Facing Xu Fengnian's unkind gaze, Hong Xixiang sneered and said, "How about... how about we go inside and sit down?"

Xu Fengnian rolled her eyes and turned back to the house. Zheng Zha smiled at Hong Xixiang and stretched out his hand towards the house.

Hong Xixiang hurriedly bowed slightly and also stretched out his hand, indicating to Zheng Zha to invite him first.

When they sat down around the table in the room, Hong Xixiang poured tea for Xu Fengnian and Zheng Zha diligently, acting rather humblely.

"I probably understand. Someone wants to use the name of the young prince to seize the power of Beiliang from the prince?"

At this time, Xu Fengnian's emotions had calmed down. Listening to Hong Xixiang's cautious words, he drank tea and said calmly: "Actually, I didn't plan to ask for it."

When Hong Xixiang saw that Xu Fengnian was willing to talk to him calmly, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed his words: "Then let him do it."

Xu Fengnian said: "Huang Man'er has a clear heart and is not familiar with world affairs. If I give him the power, those who support his rise to power will one day take his life."

Hong Xixiang scratched his cheek and said: "The result is actually the same as what the prince said. There are only two choices."

"Either tell the young prince not to return to Beiliang, or kill all the ambitious and crazy people in the army."

Xu Fengnian's face was a little gloomy. Zheng Zha glanced at Hong Xixiang and took the initiative to say: "The Crown Prince is in such a dilemma because he doesn't want to choose between the two."

Hong Xixiang nodded slowly and asked: "But who is the person who wants to use the identity of the young prince to disrupt the situation?"

Xu Fengnian shook his head and said: "It was hidden so deep that even Xu Xiao couldn't find it."

Hong Xixiang said in a relaxed tone: "That's easy. The young prince can't return to Beiliang now, so let him stay in Wudang temporarily."

"If the prince misses him, you can visit him at any time. After all, Wudang is not far from Lingzhou."

Xu Fengnian raised his eyelids, glanced at Hong Xixiang, and said with contempt: "That's the problem. Can you Wudang... guard him?"

Hong Xixiang said rather unconvinced: "We are such a big sect, can't we guard only one person?"

Xu Fengnian stared at him and said: "You have to understand the truth. Those who support Huang Man'er's rise to power are not necessarily the Northern Liang Army."

Hong Xixiang asked in confusion: "Who could that be?"

Xu Fengnian asked: "Who wants Beiliang to fall apart the most...?"

Hong Xixiang's heart was shaken, his brows furrowed slightly, and he uttered four words: "Liyang Royal Family."

Xu Fengnian said: "In the eyes of the royal family, Huang Man'er is a weapon that breaks the balance. Wudang is just a martial arts sect. Can it block the imperial power?"

Hong Xixiang said disapprovingly: "This shouldn't happen, right? Can the royal family still rush to Wudang to rob people?"

His unintentional words made Xu Fengnian shocked, and she suddenly looked at Zheng Zha with wide eyes.

Zheng Zha also showed a condensed expression at this time. He frowned and stroked the scabbard on his waist, and asked: "If the royal family really comes to rob someone, can I chop him down?"

Listening to Zheng Zha's words, Hong Xixiang felt that his temples were beating uncontrollably.

He silently poured himself a cup of tea and turned his head away as much as possible, as if he was not going to get involved in this matter.

Xu Fengnian said cautiously: "It depends on who you are looking at. Some people can chop, and some cannot."

Zheng Zha said nonchalantly: "Let's see when the time comes. In my eyes, there are not many people in this world who cannot be killed."

"Anyway, this is Wudang Mountain. If anything happens, I'll just say that it was the Master of Wudang who did it."

Xu Fengnian grinned and said in agreement: "This is reliable."

"Pfft...cough cough cough..."

After hearing the conversation between the two, Hong Xixiang spat out a sip of tea. After coughing violently a few times, he said a little angrily: "You can't cheat Wudang like this."

…

As the sun set in the west, two hours after Xu Fengnian and Zheng Zha arrived in Wudang, a carriage came from the north and stopped at the foot of the mountain.

The coachman jumped off the throne, opened the curtain and said respectfully: "Mrs. Zheng, Miss Jiang Ni, we have arrived. The carriage cannot get on, so I have to go up the mountain on your own."

Luo Li was the first to get out of the carriage and jump out of the carriage, and then Jiang Ni struggled to drag out a large bundle.

"Thank you, brother, it's getting dark soon. Be careful on the way back." Loli showed a sweet smile and said to the coachman in a soft voice.

The coachman said gratefully: "Thank you madam for your concern. I understand."

Luo Li's personality makes her very popular in the Northern Liang Palace. In the eyes of the maids and servants, she is approachable and has no pretensions, just like the girl next door.

In the eyes of Xu Xiao and the housekeepers and guards, she was cute and lovely, with exquisite orifices.

The Prince of Beiliang liked her very much from top to bottom. Xu Xiao even asked her to call him uncle and forbade her to call him prince.

Jiang Ni is considered to be the most special one among the maids of the Northern Liang Palace.

She is like a cactus, covering her body with sharp thorns, not getting close to anyone, and only living in her own world.

Except for Xu Fengnian, no one in Wutong Garden took her seriously, and she never took anyone seriously either.

It wasn't until Yu Youwei arrived that she finally had someone to talk to.

But Luoli was an exception. Not long after she moved into Wutong Garden, she and Jiang Nichu became good sisters.

Of course, Luo Li understands Jiang Ni well enough and can let go and touch the reasons deep in her heart.

But more importantly, Loli has a pure heart and is sincere in her treatment of others.

When Jiang Ni dragged the big baggage out of the carriage, Luo Li immediately stepped forward to take the baggage, "I'll do it, you take the small baggage."

Jiang Ni lifted the big bundle onto his back and said with a smile: "No, I'm used to doing this. You have thin arms and legs, and you're powerless at first glance, so I'll do it."

"

Luo Li was quite dumbfounded when she heard this, and she didn't say much at the moment. She pointed her sword at the big bundle on Jiang Ni's back, and then lifted it up.

Jiang Ni felt a light touch on her back, and the big bundle came out of her hands and actually flew up.

In the stunned expressions of Jiang Ni and the coachman, the big bundle flew over Jiang Ni's head and fell lightly into Loli's hands.

Luo Li held the big baggage with one hand and threw it on her shoulder as lightly as it was nothing. Then she blinked her left eye at Jiang Ni and said, "Let's go."

Jiang Ni opened his mouth wide, pointed at Luo Li and made a sound of unknown meaning, but could not say a word.

The coachman said with admiration on his face: "It turns out that Madam is also a peerless master. She was really blind before!"

Jiang Ni finally came back to her senses. When she heard what the coachman said, she said excitedly: "You are not the only one who has no eyesight. Everyone in the palace is blind, and they actually think that Ali is just an ordinary person."

Luo Li pursed her lips and smiled and said: "As the junior sister and wife of a big pig-headed man, how can I really be powerless? It's just that when I'm with him, it's not my turn to take action."

"Okay, it's getting dark soon, let's go up the mountain quickly."

"Oh, let's go now." Jiang Ni picked up the remaining small bags and went up the mountain with Luo Li.

Neither of them noticed that the driver behind them had a flash of light in his eyes, quickly jumped on the carriage, turned the horse's head and ran towards Lingzhou City.

…

In the small courtyard on the mountain, Xu Fengnian and Zheng Zha, who had just had dinner, were walking in the courtyard to eat.

Looking at the sky in the east, Xu Fengnian said in a daze: "I don't know how Old Huang is doing, whether he has reached Emperor Wu City or whether he won the fight."

Zheng Zha said: "Wang Xianzhi is truly an unparalleled martial arts prodigy, but after three years of travel, Lao Huang has made great progress in his cultivation."

Xu Fengnian paused, turned to look at Zheng Zha, and said with hopeful eyes: "You mean, Lao Huang has a chance to beat Wang Xianzhi?"

A look of worry appeared on Zheng Zha's face, and he said slowly: "It is not easy to win completely, but there is a high hope of gaining the upper hand."

"It's just that I'm a little worried. After all, Lao Huang is old, and he hasn't yet reached the land of immortality where he has been reincarnated. After all, he doesn't have enough energy and blood."

Xu Fengnian frowned and said, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Zheng Zha said in a deep voice: "I mean... you won't lose, but you may not die."

Xu Fengnian suddenly clenched his fists. After two breaths of silence, he suddenly smiled and said, "No, my opinion is exactly the opposite. He is so afraid of death. He may lose, but he will definitely not die."

"He promised me that he would come back and roast sweet potatoes for me as soon as the fight was over. He would not break his promise to me. He has never broken his promise to me."

Zheng Zha was silent. There was no need for him to argue with Xu Fengnian on this topic. In the past, Lao Huang might have been afraid of death, but now Lao Huang would no longer be afraid.

Because he went to Emperor Wu's City this time to die, because only if he died in Emperor Wu's City would Xu Fengnian make up his mind to practice martial arts.

"Xu Fengnian..."

At this moment, there seemed to be a faint call, which made Xu Fengnian stunned.

He suddenly turned to look at Zheng Zha and said in astonishment: "Little clay figurine? Am I experiencing tinnitus or hallucination?"

"Xu...Feng...Nian."

The call sounded again, and this time it was word for word, clearer than before.

Xu Fengnian raised her eyebrows, turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate. Zheng Zha grinned and followed.

Walking out of the courtyard, Xu Fengnian saw the two women coming side by side at a glance, and couldn't help but said happily: "It's really you, why are you here?"

During the climb from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, Luo Li acted as if nothing had happened, her face was not red and she was out of breath, but Jiang Ni was so tired that steam was rising from her hair.

Zheng Zha consciously stepped forward and took the big bundle from Luo Li's hand.

Jiang Ni glared and said, "You think I want to come?"

Luo Li on the side covered her mouth and said with a smile: "It came to light that Jiang Ni intercepted the horses for you, so my uncle sent her to deliver things. I didn't trust her alone, so I followed her."

When Xu Fengnian and Zheng Zha were about to come to the army, Xu Xiao deliberately stumbled and ordered all the horses in the palace to be taken to the military camp, leaving them with no horses to use.

It was Jiang Ni who intercepted two horses in private and secretly delivered them to the two of them, which allowed them to make the trip.

Xu Fengnian looked at her with a smile, pointed at the big baggage and asked, "What is this?"

Jiang Ni said angrily: "You came to Wudang without bringing a change of clothes, pen, ink, paper and inkstone. In the end, Ali and I had to send these over."

Xu Fengnian's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Zheng Zha and said, "It seems that Xu Xiao has guessed that we will live in Wudang for a while."

Jiang Ni pouted and said, "He guessed that you were not right at first glance."

Zheng Zha said thoughtfully: "I may not have guessed it. Maybe, everything is under the control of the prince?"

When Xu Fengnian heard his words, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "What on earth is this old guy planning?"

Zheng Zha said indifferently: "You will know after reading it."

Luo Li said with a smile: "No matter what uncle is planning, he always wants to do the best for your brothers."

Xu Fengnian said disapprovingly: "What he calls good for us may not be what we want. Forget it, ignore him and go in and put down your things first."

The four of them returned to the room and put away their luggage. Xu Fengnian said to Zheng Zha: "Brother Zheng, let Mrs. Sister-in-law and Jiang Ni stay in this room. Let's go find the bull rider and ask him to arrange another place to stay."

Zheng Zha had no objection, so he went to find Hong Xixiang and explained the situation, and Hong Xixiang arranged another hut for them.

The conditions of the thatched hut are naturally much simpler than those of the jingshe, but Xu Fengnian just needs a place to sleep and doesn't care about that much.

During his three-year travels, he had countless experiences of sleeping in the open air and sleeping in a hut.

Not to mention Zheng Zha, he doesn't even need a hut, he can just find a place to meditate.

The time of this reincarnation is a full 20 years. If redeemed in the main god space, a full 73,000 reward points will be required.

Reincarnators will naturally not waste the past and will maintain a certain amount of time for cultivation every day.

…

Early the next morning, Xu Fengnian and Zheng Zha returned to the jingshe, and Hong Xixiang brought breakfast.

Breakfast is simple and light, just a pot of white porridge and a bowl of pickled cucumbers.

After breakfast, Xu Fengnian and Zheng Zha went to find Xu Longxiang, while Jiang Ni and Luo Li dragged Hong Xixiang half-forced to the vegetable garden at the back of Wudang to steal vegetables.

Originally, Jiang Ni wanted to get some rapeseed and melon seedlings to tend a vegetable garden by herself, but there were no rapeseed and melon seedlings at this time of year, so she simply dug out some mature vegetables and transplanted them to the small courtyard.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Xu Fengnian and Zheng Zha took Xu Longxiang to the mountains to hunt some game, and then barbecued beside a pool with a waterfall.

The meals provided to them by Wudang Mountain were all porridge, pickles, vegetarian rice, and the like, without even a hint of oil starch. They didn't care, but Xu Longxiang was still half a boy, and it was the time when he was growing up, so how could he

Always a vegetarian?

Perhaps the Taoist priests of the Wudang Sect all understood this truth, and they did not have the courage to come to Xu Fengnian to point fingers, so they could only let it go.

Just as the three of them were grilling the game until it was sizzling with oil, Luo Li suddenly ran over and told them that a group of Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain had come to the monastery, saying they were here to see Xu Longxiang.

Upon hearing this, Xu Fengnian's expression changed on the spot.

Zheng Zha even asked directly: "Can the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain be cut down?"
